Drama as Nigerian Man Confronts Aboki Wearing His Missing Ankara Shirt After 2 Years

Social media is buzzing after a Nigerian man, identified as AndreDonalds, claimed he spotted a local shoemaker (popularly called Aboki) rocking the Ankara top he lost almost two years ago.

In a video shared online, AndreDonalds revealed his shock when he saw the shoemaker in his neighborhood wearing the exact fabric he had been searching for. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

He confronted the man, asking where he got the outfit.

His words:

“I just saw an Aboki man wearing my Ankara/wear that I’ve been searching for close to 2 years now. Like WTF!”

The clip has since gone viral, drawing hilarious and divided reactions from Nigerians:

@bunsapocalypse: “But yours has green colour and his own seems like yellow abi eye dey do me?”

@Moromoke❤️: “Give him the trouser Biko 😹”

@Desire: “Did you gift him the fabric?”

@Chioma Ikechukwu: “So because say na Aboki, him no fit wear am? Abeg, respect people.”

@M_Idreez: “He might not be the one who stole it. In the north they sell fairly used clothes, probably he bought it.”

The debate continues as many question whether the shirt truly belonged to AndreDonalds, or if it was simply a second-hand purchase.

It might just be similar material, or a case of stolen inspiration.

Keep them off your environment.

Similar wetin? Can't you see that the ankara was sewn? What's the probability of seeing the ankara material was sewn with the same design with no tiniest variation whatsoever?
Also, the ankara top is already weathered. It was either stolen while he spread it on the line after washing, or wind carried it away and the aboki guy decided to help his ministry.
Re: Man Confronts A Local Shoemaker Wearing His Missing Ankara Shirt After 2 Years by Majesty33(m): 10:14am On Sep 05, 2025
U for just look away like say u no know but because Una dey always try to prove a point. U know whether na your neighborhood wey broke, sell am give aboki. These aboki guys are mostly uneducated and are not well exposed. Are u not even ashamed of yourself, considering your status.
Re: Man Confronts A Local Shoemaker Wearing His Missing Ankara Shirt After 2 Years by Hellisreal70: 10:15am On Sep 05, 2025
How did your ankara get lost.
Was your house burgled.
Was the ankara stolen from the top of the line where you spread it after washing.
Did it disappeared from your body when you put it on.
Was the trousers also stollen?

Say no to stealing. He's trying to stop the wicked acts of taking what does not belong to you.

This one weak me o. It's been 2 years on for God's sake.

As much as I condemn stealing/robbery in the manner in which his clothes may have disappeared, I want to believe he has moved on but just bringing this up here on NL for readers to reason.

The shoemaker may not even be the person to be credited for the pilfering... He may even be the 3rd or 4th user of the Ankara sef.

Another this is even that, how was he able to ascertain that Ankara on the shoemaker is exactly his own that got missing 2 years ago.

Was it a special factory ordered Ankara that was exclusively produced for him only? No other person has that Ankara design anywhere? 🤔

the cloth aren't even same. The man own has green, the aboki own has yellow. Watch or zoom the picture closely

Oga stealing is stealing, leave dragging below us aside, stop encouraging thieves,
Abokis removed all welded iron rods at my gate and I can't drive out, so if he was caught, I should free him because he is below me?
Smh

This is not a matter of dragging Akara with Aboki guy, or it can't be so coincidence that the Aboki guy sew exactly the same style and design of the guy.
Someone must have stolen it from the rope when drying it after washing.
I don't trust those Aboki boys that pick condemn materials as scrap.
This is part of insecurity we have in our society.
Re: Man Confronts A Local Shoemaker Wearing His Missing Ankara Shirt After 2 Years by Guestmale: 10:27am On Sep 05, 2025
There is a bit different where the shoemaker's own is yellow it is green in the guy's own.
